A few months ago someone mentioned that setting up additional RAID configurations was not possible with an OCZ REVO drive installed.  It brought forward an interesting idea that we finally have had a chance to play with as we like to retain SSDs in order to include them in future testing.  This article displays the Gigabyte P67A-UD7 motherboard running 3 …

Today for review Im back with the final of three wireless keyboards from our friends at Koribo.  This one is called the Vivar and it features a trackball as the mouse along with thirteen multi-media keys, scroll wheel and two sets of mouse buttons to round it all off.

Less than one year ago SandForce gained control of the consumer solid state drive market with their SandForce SF-1200 SSD Processor.

BENCHMARKS Here are a few benchmarks from the OCZ Vertex 3 we reviewed this morning, containing the SF-2281 Processor.  These benchmarks are of a prototype and unreleased drive where there is a great deal more fine tuning to be done before release. Personally, I don’t believe the high sequential read and write access is nearly as surprising as the 4kb …

This morning, SandForce officially releases their SF-2200 series processors to manufacturers which are capable of parallel transfer speeds of 500MB/s read and write. It is hard to believe that SandForce only opened their doors just over a year ago and their impact has changed the way we are looking at solid state drives today. Earlier this year, I made a …
